A home this grand has its own name and beckons a lifestyle that’s just as refined—welcome to the Dickinson Mansion in Essex.

The 8,000 square-foot estate offers grandeur inside and out, from the 12 columns that greet people in the front to the home theater system that can make going out to the movies a thing of the past. Upkeep has kept the home modern and convenient, but its 19th-century charm still emanates from every room. The property is also close to the best that Essex Village has to offer.

This home is being offered for sale by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage for $1,795,000. For more information or a showing, contact Joel Lucas at 860-304-9150.
